7 results about "Online transaction processing" patented technology

In Online transaction processing (OLTP), information systems typically facilitate and manage transaction-oriented applications. The term "transaction" can have two different meanings, both of which might apply: in the realm of computers or database transactions it denotes an atomic change of state, whereas in the realm of business or finance, the term typically denotes an exchange of economic entities (as used by, e.g., Transaction Processing Performance Council or commercial transactions.) OLTP may use transactions of the first type to record transactions of the second.
